Hi everyone! Happy new year! I had my gallbladder removed as our previous conversation in October. And it’s been ok since a then.

But suddenly sometimes I have pain again on the same place....right upper rib area. Is it normal to have this pain like a burning feeling?
Can it be like stones in the ducts? Or maybe slow digestion of a fatty food? At this point I’m imagining anything.

It’s been two months for my gallbladder removal and pancreatitis and suddenly the past week I’ve Been having this on and off pain not as strong as the first time but is getting me worried.

Any similar experiences?

Hi everyone! It ended being the gallbladder and one of the stones of the gallbladder is blocking the fluids to the pancreas and I have pancreatitis too😩. So I’m having an endoscopy for the blocking stone and the gallbladder removed later on today.

thanks for your support. Wish me luck!

Depending how you moved while you were cleaning, wiping the countertop, moved taking a shower, wiped yourself after using the bathroom, etc you could have just stretched a muscle, ligament, tendon or other parts near that site that irritated it. If you feel like the Dr is wrong, it's completely ok to get another opinion and get it checked out. After I took it easy for about a week after I irritated mine, I started feeling much better.

Hmmm 🧐 interesting to know. I’ll check today how I feels if not I’m definitely make myself check in the hospital. Thanks 😊

I had my gall bladder removed about 4 years ago, and my pain started around my belly button and then felt like compaction from Constipation. I couldn't even eat. I know the fam members that had theirs removed said about the same thing.

I had the same kind of pain as you after my surgery and my doc said the same. You said it went away by chance did you exercise or move wrong to have irritated that spot again? I did. I started hauling trash and loading up a truck wth trash bags because my dr said I was ok to do more. Well, I did too much too fast and irritated my surgery site and the pain came back worse than when I had surgery.

Well I didn’t lift anything, I basically washed the dishes and cleaned the countertop of the kitchen. Maybe it’s that and I honestly hope is that and not something else. 😓

This happened to me. I went to ER, had scans of all kinds & bloodwork and they found nothing. It wasn’t my gallbladder or liver. I truly think it was gas or chalking it up to me healing.

It eventually went away and never came back. I experienced it 2 months post of for like 3 weeks.

I hope you feel better, but do go ge checked out in case it’s something

Thanks, I hope that is what you say and not the gallbladder. I don’t want to be in the hospital again😭

Nope the classic gall bladder is right subcostal(under the rib) and either straight through to the back or mostly right shoulder , like someone took their fist,and hit you. the start in perinavel,and down to lower right side is classic appendix, the location is called McBurneys Point. Another way to find it? put your right hand on your waist, thumb to your back, now dread your fingers down over your abdomen, MeBurneys Point is where your 4th finger, the one next to your little one.lands.👉😛👈

Oh I’m gonna try that right away. Right now my pain is right under the rib and when I pressure it’s like it gets connected to all my right side😓

@CyndieRI and @Frustr8 i do have my gallbladder. I’ve never had liver problems or gastric ulcers.
I’ve heard the gallbladder pain starts close to the belly bottom and immediately the pain goes down in the very lower belly right side.
This pain is up right under my rib... when I put ice in the front where the stitches are and heat in the back it disappears the pain probably in a 70% but when I stand up and forget about the ice and continue normally then it comes again. The only way I feel kind of good is being still like sleeping beauty in my bed not moving, not on my side just laying straight 😓
I’ll keep you guys posted to see how I’m doing by tomorrow.thanks

@brttnj89 do you eat the egg with the yolk? sugar free cheesecake?!!👌🤤where do I find that?

Hello: please help! I have an unbearable pain on the right side of my belly under my ribs and goes all the way to the back/waist on that same side.

from the beginning after the surgery I had this pain but it was just sometimes, considering it Was near the stitches I thought it hurt there because that is close where the doctor removed the stomach and manouver everything from that side. Weeks past by and the pain dissapeared. And yesterday 19 days after my surgery here I come again with the same pain but now is super strong I would say 8 from 1-10 or sometimes 9/10. It’s horrible if I bend, If i turn, if I twist and I have to walk like huntchback because if I put straight hurts more!!!! The doctor told me it’s normal, that the abdominal wall is healing and bla bla bla...

but is it really? Don’t get me wrong doctors know a lot... but i hate that for them always always is normal unless you have fever or kind of dying..

so please guide me. Oh the pain is like someone is pulling me from the inside.😭

Thanks for your replies. I’ll check the section of puréed food in this forum and be creative.😊. One last question. Were you able to eat the whole egg in this stage or no yolk?

Hello everyone! So I’m on my puréed stage and all I have is puréed fruit, yogurt, egg beaters and cream soups... please give me some more ideas because I’m so bored of the same food.

oh and considering not all of what I eat is glorious some days are good and others I spend in the bathroom... like if my stomach didn’t like it then out!

tell me everything, everything o can try please

Thanks for your replies @johnsons13 @matt z @bostonwlkc
I had a gastric sleeve. Basically now I’m having shakes, egg whites, yogurt, milk cheese... all as recommended by the doctor, low fat.
I’m glad to know it’s normal... I was worried. So I just need to wait and adapt little by little to my new stomach👌

Hey JackieK! I’m feeling much better today. I’m also trying to get as much fluids as possible, different flavors so I don’t get bored and dehydrated. Let us know what the doctor says about the 👅... 👍😊

Thanks! It’s wonderful to have support 😊

Hello!!! First I’m sorry if the topic is kind of gross 💩 but I need to ask.

I’m on my 12 days post -op... and I’ve had like two or three episodes of diarrheas, it comes with pain, cramps, weakness. After all is gone I start to feel better... but basically when this happens my day is ruined because I feel bad and weak before the 💩comes and after is gone the recovery with pedyalite😓is long too.

Is this normal?

Thanks for your replies. It’s so hard...😓 but I have to be strong.

Hi can anybody please tell me if it’s normal that I have cravings although I’m in the puréed food stage? Why is this?
